Did everything from the top. 5mm socket with extension got most. Long 5mm got the rest. In and out in 1.5 hr. Cleaned the allen bolts with a dental pick and then made sure the drivers were well seated before applying pressure. Thanks for the tip about turning the engine over (I did this anyways to make sure the drive plate wasnt fubar). Def had to take off the power steering pump belt (needed tightening anyways.
Havent taken the cover off but it looks like the check valve got sucked in. I have a rebuild kit somewhere and will rebuild the old to recoup my losses. Better safe than sorry.
